A girl can never own too many bras, right?
But with so many bra options to choose from, it’s easy to go wrong and wear a bra that’s the incorrect size or style for your body type.
Want to enhance your feminine curves – without wasting money on bad bra purchases?
In this post, I share how to flatter and feminize your body with the 7 best bras for trans women and crossdressers.
1. Pocket Bra
A pocket bra, or mastectomy bra, has pockets in the cups to hold breast forms securely in place. If you wear breast forms (especially large or heavy forms), a pocket bra is a must.
2. Front Closure Bra
Crossdressers and transgender women tend to have wide rib cages and/or widely spaced breasts. This can make it hard to find a bra that fits properly.
Enter the front closure bra. Front closure bras have a clasp in the front of the bra instead of the back. These bras have wider set cups, making them easier to fit.
3. T-shirt Bra
The t-shirt bra is every girl’s best friend. It’s a seamless, molded cup bra that’s designed to look smooth under your clothes – even the most form-fitting tee. Best of all, t-shirt bras come in a wide range of sizes.
4. Convertible Bra
A common complaint I hear from crossdressers and transgender women is that many bras have straps that aren’t long enough for them.
Convertible bras offer a perfect solution. Convertible bras have removable straps that can be worn in different ways – including crisscrossed. Because of this, they have longer straps than regular bras.
5. Balconette Bra
Balconette bras have cups that are cut horizontally across the bust. This is a beautiful cup style that’s particularly flattering to wide rib cages and/or wide set breasts.
Most balconette bras are padded, so they’re also great for giving “the girls” some extra oomph.
6. Wireless Bra
Underwire bras offer maximum support, so they’re ideal if you wear breast forms. However, they can be hard to fit if you have a wide chest.
Consider wearing a wireless bra instead. Wireless bras have a more forgiving fit, so they’re much more comfortable.
If you want to wear a soft cup bra with breast forms, look for a wireless pocketed bra or attach the breast forms to your chest with tape or adhesive.
7. Adhesive Bra
Adhesive bras are a backless, strapless bra style that’s attached to the breasts with adhesive.
These bras are fabulous for creating cleavage, so they’re a must for your femme wardrobe. (Click here to learn more about how to create cleavage with an adhesive bra.)
In conclusion
While you don’t need to limit yourself to these 7 bra styles (the sky’s the limit in bra land!), they’re a great place to start.
Now I’d like to hear about YOUR favorite bras. Is there a particular bra style or brand that works for you?

Hi Lucille honey goodness girlfriend and girlfriend’s you girls are having too much fun lol I guess I’m just not comfortable in forms (well not really I made my own) anymore I used to like them but now since I have just a little real cleavage of my own forms just seem wrong I do like learning more about the bras available these days maybe I’ll actually get some one of these years if I ever get to dress again but purging days are over never again will I purge anyway I Love You Girlfriend’s Love MJ
Another great article from Lucille. I have 2 pairs of breast forms, 1 at 36c which is my preferred size and I wear with full cup bra’s. My other breasts are 36b which I have worn in a pocket bra and they look great and give great definition and move as breasts should – I do feel some emotional discomfort wearing a pocket bra due to the real reason behind them being available – does anyone else feel similarly ?
I’m in the UK and my bra’s of choice are by Pour Moi – they are pretty, feminine and fit me perfectly – the matching panties are also brilliant as they hold everything in place.
A good Demi from VS 42B. pair of forms from Janet’s Closet, some contouring and a good posture. Hate to think how much money I’ve wasted trying to find the right fit on Bras and Shoes. Thanks for the help and ideas Lucille. I love the feeling of a bra and feel naked when I can’t wear one.
Ohhhh, very nice and very sexy..

Thanks for reply ,Claire! The pantjes are great too, especially if u USe a credit card and get freebies ever so often. Toodles, Roxanne.
For me it is the Rhonda Shear bra. I have bought a few of her bras and just can not say enough about them. I get the leisure bra, one that you just slip on. They hold my forms in firmly and stay with me when i bend over. They are so comfortable that I can even sleep in them.

All the models are GG’s, interesting…
For me today I just need one word included in any bra that I buy: UNDERWIRE!
It used to be hiding in plain sight, wearing all female clothing at work – with out my wig – In this mode i loved my bralets- and tight sports bras- under my shirt and sweaters giving a hint of my female form. With recent hormone therapy I have given up on hiding and keep coming back to my Vs full coverage bras- push up- padded- 38b fits best now- always try before you buy – you don’t want to bulge in the wrong places –
Sandy I have a 44c bras and I have 7 of tham. My name is Jen and I have long hair
